As part of the Human Resources leadership team, the individual partners with HR colleagues and business leaders to design impactful programs that elevate leadership effectiveness, build future‑ready skills, and foster an enduring culture of learning and growth.

At University of Phoenix, we believe education should fit the lives of those who have the most to gain from it. Founded in 1976, we pioneered higher education for working adults, individuals with jobs, families, and ambitions too often overlooked by traditional universities. Nearly 50 years later, that founding mission has evolved into a powerful, data‑driven model that helps adult learners move confidently from learning to earning.

In 2025, the University’s parent company, Phoenix Education Partners, Inc., took an important next step by becoming a publicly traded company (PXED) on the New York Stock Exchange, after more than eight years of ownership by private equity companies Apollo and Vistria, who remain our majority owners.

Today, the University serves approximately 83,000 students, the vast majority of whom are first‑generation college students and working adults with an average age of 37. We’ve aligned 100 percent of our programs to career‑relevant skills, helping our students graduate with competencies employers seek. Our faculty of nearly 2,300 professionals have an average of 29 years of industry experience.

Over the last near‑decade, University of Phoenix has undergone a sweeping transformation. We modernized our technology infrastructure, invested $500 million in AI‑driven platforms, and harnessed two petabytes of data to personalize learning, enhance student outcomes, and increase operational efficiency.

Behind these impressive outcomes is a passionate team of 3,400 employees who come to work every day inspired by one goal: to help adult learners achieve real career mobility and lifelong success.

Reporting to the Chief Human Resources Officer, this leader oversees a team of L&D professionals dedicated to creating engaging, scalable, and innovative learning experiences that align with the University’s mission and business objectives. This role partners closely with the HR leadership team and business leaders to design impactful programs that elevate leadership effectiveness, build future‑ready skills, and foster an enduring culture of learning and growth.
